AN IDEAL CHILDHOOD
AN IDEAL CHILDHOOD Growing up in the eastern area of Nigerian, it was quite not fun filled and happy as I’ve heard other people describe how their childhood was, like letting a child discover what he or she love and giving them space and time to explore that. Mine was a whole lot different. I had both parent till I was 5 and I lost Dad, I felt I didn’t have the chance to explore or live my childhood to the fullest and happier as I expected. Around me, I saw kids my age being cared for and taken care of by their dad, it was only my mum, I saw clearly her struggle, it breaks me down each time I realize that I can’t even help her. What my mum did was to mask most of her suffering and fill the gap and responsibility of a father, she quite succeeded. For me I think childhood is a time to learn tolerance and be inclusive, childhood is about making friends, imaginative play, working together and sharing stories. One
